Our turkey gizzards come from healthy, pasture-raised birds that are rotated daily on fresh, mobile pastures. Raised without antibiotics, hormones, or unnecessary medications, our turkeys live in the clean, natural environment they deserve. This results in nutrient-rich, clean meat that’s better for you and the planet. Supplemented with a custom-made, low PUFA feed, our turkeys are raised with integrity to ensure the highest quality cuts.
Unlike conventionally raised turkey gizzards, which may be loaded with industrial fats and preservatives, ours are free of harmful additives, making them a clean and wholesome choice for anyone seeking the best in flavor and nutrition.
- Slow Braise: For melt-in-your-mouth texture, braise the gizzards in a flavorful liquid like broth or wine. Brown them first, then simmer on low heat for 2-3 hours until they’re tender and full of flavor. This method helps extract the collagen, creating a rich, savory dish.
- Slow Cooker: If you’re looking for a hands-off approach, you can also cook turkey gizzards in a slow cooker. Set it on low for 6-8 hours, and the result will be fall-apart tender gizzards that are perfect for adding to stews, soups, or as a main course.
- Soup or Stew: Turkey gizzards can add incredible depth to your soup or stew. Simply chop them into smaller pieces and let them simmer in your favorite broth with vegetables and herbs. The long cooking time brings out their rich flavor and tender texture.
- Fried or Sautéed (after Braising): Once you’ve braised the gizzards to tenderness, you can finish them by frying or sautéing them for a crispy, golden exterior. This adds a delicious contrast to their soft interior and is a great option for a flavorful snack or side dish.

Farming Practices
Custom-Feed: corn- & soy-free, low in PUFAs
Modern turkey contains significantly higher levels of polyunsaturated fats (PUFAs) than in the past, largely due to changes in feed (you are what you eat, eats). Conventional diets rely heavily on corn, soy, and other PUFA-rich ingredients, which directly influence the fatty acid composition of the meat. Even pasture-raised turkeys require supplemental feed, meaning they can still accumulate elevated levels of omega-6 fats depending on what they’re fed.
That’s why at Nourish, we’ve developed a custom corn- and soy-free nutrient-dense feed for our birds: carefully crafted to lower the PUFA content in our meat to better support your overall health and metabolism.
In addition to feed, processing methods matter. Many store-bought turkeys are injected with saline solutions, phosphates, and preservatives to enhance moisture and shelf life. These can include additives like sodium nitrites and sodium benzoate, further altering the quality of the final product.
By prioritizing both better feed and cleaner processing, we produce turkey that is truly nourishing, free from unnecessary additives and excess inflammatory PUFAs. When you choose Nourish turkey, you’re getting more than corn- and soy-free meat, you’re getting food raised with intention, integrity, and care.
Mobile Pasture-Raised for Optimal Nutrition
Turkeys raised on pasture have access to a more diverse, nutrient-rich diet, including supplemental feed, fresh grasses, plants, and insects. This variety enhances their nutrient intake, which is then reflected in the quality of the meat you consume. Pasture-raised animal products are often richer in fat-soluble vitamins. For example, vitamin D levels increase with sunlight exposure, as animals synthesize it in their skin and store it in their fat. Vitamin K2 levels are also influenced by diet, with grass-fed animals typically containing higher amounts of this essential nutrient. Truly pasture-raised animals may also contain higher levels of beneficial compounds like polyphenols, which support gut and overall health.
In contrast, animals raised in confinement are limited to a uniform feed source, resulting in a less diverse nutrient profile and a less nutrient-dense final product.
At Nourish, we take this a step further through mobile pasture-based practices. Our turkeys are moved daily to fresh pasture, ensuring continuous access to new grasses and insects while preventing overgrazing. Unlike the loosely defined “pasture-raised” label, this system protects soil health, preserves vegetation, and supports a more natural environment for the animals. The result is healthier turkeys, more sustainable land use, and ultimately, more nutrient-dense food for you.
Healthier Turkeys, Free of Pharmaceuticals
Healthy animals don’t need pharmaceutical crutches! Our turkeys are raised in optimal conditions: on mobile pasture with daily access to fresh grass, clean air, and the ability to express their natural instincts. Unlike confined birds raised in crowded barns, our turkeys are not exposed to excessive waste buildup or poor air quality. Instead, they forage freely and benefit from nutrient-rich pasture that supports gut and immune health. While turkeys cannot survive on grass alone, regular access to fresh pasture provides valuable nutrients and fiber that contribute to overall well-being.
This environment greatly reduces the need for routine pharmaceutical interventions. So we do not use vaccines, antibiotics, hormones or other drugs.
Conventional turkeys, often raised in confinement and bred for rapid growth, rely heavily on antibiotics and aggressive vaccination schedules to maintain health under stressful conditions. In contrast, our pasture-raised turkeys move more, experience less stress, and develop stronger immune systems. The result is healthier animals and more nutrient-dense meat: raised without unnecessary inputs and in alignment with regenerative farming principles.
